How To Create Your Own Watermark
Since we're publishing our art everywhere on web and can't control who can use it, and no one like to see his/her photo being claimed as others work.
Watermark or copyrights help a little to prevent others from stealing your efforts, or at least make it difficult for them to erase your name.
I found many ways to add a watermark and I'll list few for you to try them out !

Method 2 : Brush Watermark in Photoshop
